With the release of the iPhone 14 series, Android manufacturers are about to start a new wave of flagship replacements, with the timing expected to be scheduled for the Snapdragon Tech Summit in November after the launch of Snapdragon 8 Gen2. This week, OnLeaks has shared what it claims to be a high-resolution render of the Samsung Galaxy S23+.
The front of the S23+ is a 6.6-inch straight screen with a central micro-perforation, and the black edges continue Samsung’s usual style of being very narrow. The center frame has a curved transition with rounded chamfers.
The back has changed considerably, with the S23+ ditching the “camera island” design of the previous two generations in favor of the S22 Ultra’s design language, which means that the three lenses are laid out independently of each other and there is no longer the concept of an integrated module. However, the lenses still protrude a little and are not flat against the back plate.
The S23+ is said to be 157.7 x 76.1 x 7.6mm, compared to 157.4 x 75.8 x 7.6mm in its predecessor.
Interestingly, the renders do not show a SIM slot, and there is speculation whether this means that the S23+ is going to follow the example of the iPhone 14 and push an eSIM-only version in some regional markets.
It is worth mentioning that the Samsung Galaxy S23 (model number SM-S9110), Galaxy S23+ (model number SM-S9160) and Galaxy S23 Ultra have already received 3C certification in China, but unfortunately, this generation still only supports 25W wired flash charging.
